The physical state of substances can be solid, liquid, or gas, and matter can be changed from one state to another by temperature, pressure, or as a result of chemical change, etc.

What is changed when matter undergoes a phisical change?
When matter undergoes a physical change (like changes in the state of matter), the space between the particles in the matter and how the particles move change.
How would you draw particles arrangement of each state of matter?
Well, for a solid, you would draw the particles close together and touching so that none of them could be moved around. For a gas you would draw them very spaced apart with none touching, and for a liquid you would draw them some where in the middle with some touching and some spaced out.
Why is boiling water a Heat Energy?
Heat energy is a measure of how fast particles of matter are vibrating. As more energy goes into the matter, the particles vibrate faster. At some point (it is different for each material) the particles move fast enough to change phase. When water boils, the particles change state from liquid to gas.
Which state of matter has particles that move the fastest?
Liquid State
How will you show that by applying pressure particles of matter can be brought close together?
by applying pressure the particles of matter come and the intermolecular space between them shorten and they change their state from gas to liquid and the intermolecular space between the particles of liquid is more than that of gas.
What is changed when matter undergoes a phisical change?
When matter undergoes a physical change (like changes in the state of matter), the space between the particles in the matter and how the particles move change.
If enough energy is added to matter in the liquid state it will change into a different state during this change of state the particles would?
move faster and break free from other particles, entering the gas state.
If enough energy is added to matter in the liquid state it will change into different state. During this change of state the particles would?
move faster and break free from other particles, entering the gas state.
What state of matter has closely packed particles that don't change position?
solid.
When matter changes state what does change?
The change in the state of matter lead to the following being altered: - The strength of the inter-molecular forces - The positions and movements of the particles in the matter. - The kinetic energy contained by the particles. These are all I could come up with for now, feel free to add and edit!
What particles that make up matter are in a state of?
Particles that make up matter are in a state of constant motion.
How does the rearrangement of water molecules change state of matter?
There are empty spaces between the particles of matter that are very large and that can be used to identify a substance because they never change.
How are the particles in each state of matter different?
By how dense the state of matter
How would you draw particles arrangement of each state of matter?

Which state of matter are the particles loosely connected like beads on a string?
The state of matter in which particles are loosely connected is gaseous state
When the potential energy of a material changes what happens to the materials what of matter changes?
In a solid the particles are close together and in fixed positions In a liquid the particles are still really close together but can move around past each other In a gas the particles are free to move and far apart During a state change the particles in the substance will change from being in one of the above to another
What is the relationship between the amount of space between particles and the state of the matter?
As the space changes between the particles, so does the state of matter.
